Top of the 3rd is about as late as we can get him, if then

[Mr. Miagi]

Sorry Fournette fans like myself. (crying) 

 

DG going DL "hogmolly" at 8. And then "HOGMOLLY" running back at 40. Just watch.  

DG at the draft press: "Perine is a hogmolly. You can't teach size"

He has quicker feet than Stewart and Fornette

I don't know. I've seen him listed 80-150 on big boards.

With all the talented backs coming out this year you would think it would be possible to get him later.

Gettleman can't help his self. Who gives a damn if he is a JAG, just make sure he is a Hog Molly or Blue Goose or some other stupid term.

This guy isn't a JAG. He broke the single game rushing record as a sophomore, bruiser with some wiggle. Our type of RB

He used to be really electric his freshman year, and analysis on that proves that as the years gone by, his skill level regressed.  

However, it could easily be attributed to having too much weight. Waldman and Riddle explain that he could easily have the impact of Le'Veon Bell with some weight loss:

So effectively, Waldman says this about him:

Riddle’s analysis of Perine begins during this sluggish and uninspired era of the Sooners’ career and works chronologically back to his freshman year. As we watch Perine get younger, his performances get better.

He’s quicker, his long speed is worth touting for his size, and, as Riddle points out, Perine is demoralizing good college defenders with his power. You’ll see this with your own eyes the deeper we get into Perine’s portfolio of work.

After this session, I studied more of Perine’s early tape and I agree with Riddle’s assessment: Perine appears lighter as a freshman than he did as a junior. It might be by design (he was used as a lot as a fullback for Joe Mixon) or genetically (he’s a freak of nature in the weight room and as he’s filled out, it might be easier for him to be a heavier set guy), but weight loss could be a significant help for Perine’s future as an NFL runner.

Although Le’Veon Bell had elite quickness and agility at 230-240 pounds (as I wrote in that year’s RSP, his quickness-burst-agility was in the same range as Jahvid Best and Ahmad Bradshaw), the weight loss made him even quicker. Perine’s tape reveals a quicker back at a lighter weight who still retains awesome power and good agility.

If weight loss is the potential path for Perine’s return to his freshman look, he could be as productive as any of the backs in this rich class. If his junior year is indicative of what we’ll see in the NFL long-term, his role will be far more confined.

How much better is he than Cap?  Not a huge fan of Perine.

Actually, almost Le'Veon Bell's level if he cuts the weight.

[stirs]

Yeah, we don't want him to turn into Tolbert or anything.

If he can keep weight in check, he can be special

Actually a young Tolbert is what I see here as much as anything. Doesn't have the burst Stewart had coming out of college but will flat run a guy over.

40 Speed is highly overrated for RBs

BC vision and balance are most important.

I noticed Perine a few years back and at that time I thought to myself he would be the type of RB the Panthers would maybe draft. I actually think he'll be a good pro and would welcome him to the squad
